Don't know if this has been posted here before. Stumbled on this looking for pictures of t-34's being pressed into german service. Some pictures of a tank that's been on the bottom of the lake in Estonia

Yes, I posted some links a few months ago when I was looking for more information. I'm building one now, (though in the original Soviet markings). It was a tank assigned to an Estonian regiment, and every tank in the regiment had a bilingual inscription reading "For Soviet Estonia" in Russian and Estonian. Helpfully, this marking is included in the new Dragon T-34 with commander's cupola (Dragon's kit depicts a Factory 183 tank). The actual tank recovered from the lake was a Factory 112 model from the very end of T-34-76 production, so I had to cross kit with the Dragon Factory 112 "Late" kit to get the appropriate wheels. Many of the needed details are already in the kit as "Not for use" parts, like the sharp nose piece originally from the T-34-85 kit, and the little armor fillets for the top edges of the hull that Factory 112 installed to protect the turret ring. The upper and lower hull rear plates for Factory 112 are also included (the ones with two very large hinges).
The tank has some anomalies, like really early drive wheels (again, already in the kit), and a cowling cover for the cooling air exhaust vents that has four hinges like an early tank instead of the three usually seen in early 1944. That's the good and bad part of depicting a specific vehicle rather than a standard class of vehicles--a real machine has "mistakes." It also has a late Mk. 4 periscope in place of the dummy can on the right turret roof (kit includes some Mk 4 periscopes on the T-34-85 sprue, but I had to rebuild the armor surround), and it has one of the alternate styles of bell-shaped periscope housings on the left turret roof (which I had to scratchbuild). And it has different stowage arrangements on the hull sides and mudguards.
